Web Players Make Domains Primary Investment

How do you become a serious player on the Internet? One way is to make the purchase of domains a priority. It's not uncommon for some of the most Web savvy to own hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of domains. In many respects it's like buying real estate - there is value in owning commodities like this as you'll always have a place to "rest" your Web content until you are ready to do something with it. If that weren't motivation enough, you can make a few bucks parking domains but more on that in another post.

A few options for cheap domains on a one year contract:

- Yahoo offers domains (with a Yahoo account) for $1.99 - renewals are less than ten dollars.- Hostway has a deal right now on .info domains - selling for as low as $1.45- DomainsAreFree.com is one of the lower providers of cheap domain names at just $3.99
